Chapter 227: The Twins
Day 22:
Sure enough, don't think about the questions you can't figure out.
Since the demon's injuries will recover on its own, then I just have to wait for it to wake up and ask it.
Well, I'm so smart!
……
Wen Xiang died.
Many people died in the Wen family.
Many people in the Wen family were sick.
Many people died in the city.
There are also many people in the city who are sick.
Moreover, the city lord did not block the city, and the poison of the holy demon also walked out of the city with some merchants.
Something is going to go wrong. I take my judgment for granted.
Day 23:
I suspect that my strength has reached a bottleneck, and lately I have always felt like I'm being crushed in an airtight eggshell, and the more I absorb the light, the stronger it feels.
And today, that feeling is at its peak.
It's so depressing, it's boring.
It was like a rainstorm was coming, and the sky was full of dark clouds.
No, much stronger than that.
It seems that a big stone has been pressed in my heart, and it seems that a big stone has been pressed in my head.
It's so stuffy, so depressing, I can't breathe.
Head, a little dizzy......
Day 24:
In the deepest part of the Wen family's dungeon, in the room where the holy demon was held, a figure that no one could see or touch slowly sat up from the holy demon.
That bastard actually used a knife without saying a word.
Damn, I want to kill him!
The figure waved its fists, its face hideous and terrifying.
He pressed his knee with one hand, as if trying to get up from the ground. It's just that he kept the movement of getting up and stayed there quietly.
Really, what's going on, my chest is so stuffy, and my head is so heavy.
He pressed one hand to his forehead, gasping softly.
No, that doesn't seem to be the point.
As if thinking of something, he shook his head vigorously, his eyes widening.
That guy, that bastard who likes to wear period clothes, where did he poke me with a knife?
I'm dead?
He looked down at beneath him, and beneath him lay a figure dressed in coarse cloth, his feet still sunk into the figure's chest.
"Ahhh......h
He let out a scream and hurriedly got up, no, he didn't get up, he just crawled and quickly left the figure lying on the ground.
Left the man who was dressed in scarlet cloth, with white hair covering his chest, but his skin was extremely white and tender.
I, I'm dead?
The person on the side, me?!
He held his head and cried, very loudly, like a helpless child.
Day 25:
Strange, I passed out all of a sudden?
I rubbed my head and looked at the holy demon lying on the side, puzzled.
I've already collected a lot of light, how could I suddenly faint?
I patted myself and stood up.
Of course, I don't get dirty, it's just a habitual action.
I still feel so depressed, like being locked in an eggshell.
However, as long as I continue to collect light, I will be able to break the eggshell, and then I won't be uncomfortable.
Well, I still don't know what these rays are.
But, that's all you can expect, isn't it?
Human beings are a species that can only survive by looking at hope, and so am I.
Let's take a look outside......
Wait, what's going on when Wen Miao is sick?
Hasn't she been fine before?
Obviously the last time I was ......
How long have I been in a coma this time?
No, wait to find out!
It's about itself, and this kind of thing can't be casual.
I remember that there seemed to be a private school in the east of the city, and I remember the old gentleman, who only taught one article a day......
I focused a little and leaned myself against the wall.
If I didn't, I would have walked straight through the wall.
Alas...... Today's sky is also extremely depressing.
I feel depressed in my heart, how can I call this melancholy?
I was in a coma for the whole day.
Snuck away yesterday without me knowing.
Why?
I was obviously trying to collect the light for as much time as possible to be there.
Why is it that the time without consciousness has become longer now?
There is no light today, go back to find the holy demon.
I don't want to collect any more light.
I had no idea what it was or what it would do to me.
So be it, it's good to keep it as it is.
That's what I thought, but it backfired.
I'm like, no, it's a demon, it seems like something has changed.
The closer I got to it, the weaker I felt, and the closer I got there, the more I felt......
[I'm tired...... ]
Day 26:
He eventually accepted this reality.
"I'm dead."
He crouched beside the holy demon and looked at his face, thinking so in his heart.
Although his hair is gray, his face is thin, and his body is thin.
But the outline was clearly the person he would see in the mirror when he washed his face one morning.
He felt a little lost.
I died suddenly, what should I do now?
Reincarnation?
But what about the inconsistency? What about Meng Po? What about black and white impermanence? What about the king of Yama? What about the six realms of reincarnation? What about the Eighteen Hells?
Ah, I see.
He figured it out.
I'm a, a lonely ghost......
Day 27:
Wentong convened another meeting of elders.
Those present were: First Elder Wen Zhe, Second Elder Wen Chang, Third Elder Wen Shi, Fourth Elder Wen Ye, Sixth Elder Wen Yu, Eighth Elder Wen Xiu, Ninth Elder Wen Mantra, Tenth Elder Wen Xiuyuan, Eleventh Elder Wen Yue, Thirteenth Elder Wen Chi, and Fourteenth Elder Wen Qing.
"Patriarch, I still mean it the same way." Wen Shi was the first to speak: "From the appearance of the Holy Demon Disease to the present, no patient can be cured. Now Wen Miao is also sick, which shows that it is impossible to treat the Holy Demon Disease, so it is better to make a decision as soon as possible! ”
"Bastard!" Before Wen Tong could speak, Wen Zhe slapped the wooden table in front of him, "Decide, how to decide?" Kill everyone? Who will touch, who will do it, who will kill? And what to do with the corpse after that? Is it buried or burned? Can burning it burn the poison of the holy demon? Can burying it solve the poison of the Holy Demon? ”
"It's the best way right now!" Wen Shi was not afraid at all and spoke calmly.
"Heh, the best way." Wen Zhe sneered, "What about after that? What happens after killing these people? Kill all the sick people in the city again? Or, even the holy demon is killed together? ”
"If you can." Wen Shi looked directly at Wen Zhe, and his voice was cold and clear.
"You are presumptuous!" Wen Zhe was furious, and stood up with a slap of his palm, and the majestic power belonging to the fifth stage and a half immortal was faintly diffused, pressing towards Wen Shi.
It seems that today they can't discuss anything.
I should go somewhere else.
Before leaving, though.
I leaned over to Wen Shi's ear slightly, "One thing you're mistaken. ”
"You should do it first, not discuss it with them."
"But now you don't have a chance to do it, because you've lost the opportunity."
"The lord's son-in-law is also sick. You can't kill everyone. ”
Day 28:
The entire Youzhou region began to be diseased, and the poison of the holy demon was raging.
The plague has come!
Day 29:
I still couldn't hold back, and went to collect the light again.
The time I can stay conscious is getting shorter and shorter these days, and I can only choose to continue.
Anyway, it won't be worse than it is now.
……
After working for most of the day and running half of Youzhou, the light I collected seemed to have finally reached a certain point.
Because I felt the fresh air again.
I didn't have to breathe, but I felt like I was breathing fresh air.
And the thick invisible dark cloud that had been pressing on my heart and shrouded in my mind gradually dissipated.
Sure enough, the eggshell I felt before was just a bottleneck for me, as long as I broke through it, I could fly high.
All right!
But......
After the excitement passed, I began to take a hard look at what was new in the deepest part of my mind.
No, it's not something in my head.
How can I say it, if I deliberately sink my consciousness into my mind now, sink into the deepest depths, my consciousness will suddenly come to a strange space that is dark and chaotic, and I can't distinguish between east and west, north and south.
And in addition to the endless darkness in this space, there is also a very conspicuous object.
It was a man, he was wearing a black robe, and the robe was decorated with rich dark gold textures, looking noble and mysterious.
His facial features are carved like gods, with sharp edges and corners, and he is unusually handsome.
His eyes are dark and deep, and his pupils seem to have magical power, which attracts attention and intoxicates people's hearts.
Who is he?
I hesitated, not knowing whether to leave the space right away or go over and say hello to him.
After hesitating again and again, I still took a step forward, bowed slightly, hugged my fists and said, "I've seen my predecessors." ”
One second, two seconds, three seconds...... More than ten seconds passed, and the "seniors" still did not respond.
This leaves me a little unsure.
The seniors don't want to pay attention to me, or ......
I quickly looked up, glanced at "Senpai", and then quickly returned to my previous position.
He doesn't seem to be moving?
I peeked again.
It doesn't seem to be moving.
I emboldened, walked over to the man, and looked closely.
At this time, I noticed that his figure was a little illusory, and it continued to fade.
And under his illusory figure, no, in his body, there was a slender hair that emitted a faint golden light quietly suspended.
He's just a hair?
A hair, projecting a stunning handsome guy?
What's going on!
Curious, I reached out to the man to take out the hair.
Ah, it's cold and smooth, and it's a great material.
I touched his waist and couldn't put my hand in.
Looks like I can't just get my hair out.
However, since his figure has been fading, is it that as long as I keep waiting, when he disappears, I will be able to get the hair?
In this way, I waited and waited, his figure became fading and fading, and through his illusory figure, I gradually discovered another thing.
That strand of hair was getting shorter.
It constantly emits a sparkling golden glow that cuts its length.
And looking at the shortened speed, I'm afraid that in the end it will disappear with this illusory man.
Hair is a man, and a man is hair. The energy of the hair continued to disappear, and the man's figure continued to be illusory.
They're one, keep waiting, I won't be able to get the hair, they'll disappear at the same time.
But I'm still waiting here, Lao Tzu has just broken through, he has a lot of energy, he is conscious, and he can last a long time.
To put it simply: I've broken through, awesome.
I have a hunch that when they are about to disappear, I am afraid that some kind of change will occur in this place, or in themselves.
And that's exactly what I expected.
At the last moment when the strands were about to disappear, it stopped releasing golden light, and the space began to seep into the space with tiny blue rays.
The blue light was constantly absorbed by the hair, and the hair was converted into its own power, and I watched as it continued to grow, becoming longer and longer.
When it reached a certain limit, it stopped growing, no longer absorbing blue light, and instead began to release golden light, sending those energies far away, sending them out of this chaotic space.
Where is all this golden light going?
I followed them, sneaking all the way, and after passing through an unknown film, my consciousness left the chaotic space.
I felt my consciousness sink back into my body, and I myself followed my consciousness to the place where it passed through the membrane.
Where is this?
With that in mind, I sat up from the demon.
